Death
There have been occasions when players have been hit and ruled out for battles, but never had death occurred to a cricketer on the field. He had skipped the Ranji Trophy match against Tamil Nadu because of a toothache and flown to Dhaka following calls to play that match for Abahani Krira Chakra against Mohammedan Sporting.
There were tributes from all over the World when he died. His wife Kim, paid him the most moving tribute when she put the Sonnet Club cap on Lamba.
